Driving forces for longterm port
expansion DEEP WATER AVANT PORT -
Rapid growth of cargo flows (2001 17,3 mln. t.,
2008 30 mln. t) requires port
facilities with larger capacity and space -
Larger tonnage vessels (until 2002 40 000 DWT,
2008 - 100 000 DWT, later - 150 000 DWT)
requires the water depth 17 m. -
Intensified navigation of larger vessels requires
more space within the port waters,
thus they should be diverted to the avant-port
for safer and smoother navigation
